“Azenta, Inc. (NASDAQ: AZTA) was the second best shareholder in our short book during the second quarter of 2025. The company operates in the life sciences sector, with a special focus on sample management solutions (about 48 % of FY24 sales) and multi -roles (about 39 % of FY24 sales). Azenta offers pharmaceutical technology and biotechnology companies, research hospitals, and government institutions. One of our preferred financial measures is the operating profits (EBIT margins). Usually, we expect life science companies to have profit margins before benefits, taxes and depreciation exceeding 15 %. Azenta, on the other hand, has profit margins before benefits, taxes and depreciation under 7 %, which raised the red flag for us. In addition, the life science industry is currently facing pressure from low spending in the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”, a financing environment in difficult biotechnology, vulnerability in China, and doubts about the effectiveness of the latest methods such as Marana and cell treatments and genes (“CGTS”). When the price of the AZENTA share decreased by about 40 %, we took our gains and got out of the short center. “
